Our Story

H.I.V.E. was built by Puja Bhagat (M.Arch.) and Jonathan Wong (M.Arch.) as a element of their M.Arch thesis for the Emergent Design and Technologies (EmTech) postgraduate programme at the Architectural Association under the supervision of Dr. Elif Erdine and Dr. Milad Showkatbakhsh.

OUR MISSION

Redefining the Way 
We Design

Through H.I.V.E. (Human Interaction Visualization Engine), our mission is to enhance generative architectural design by integrating human interactions and social dynamics into the design process. Through our socially-driven pedestrian simulation plugin for Grasshopper3D, we empower architects and urban planners to make informed, people-centered decisions across various scales. By humanizing computational design, H.I.V.E. enables a more holistic understanding of how spaces can serve the needs and behaviors of those who inhabit them.
